Travel: Home Sweet Home!

Home Sweet Home!

The trip to France was terrific, but it's good to be back home, with my cats, my own bed, my messy desk.

Looming ahead is the Publication Party at the Writers' Program, UCLA Extension, in which I'm reading. That'll be on Thursday, June 11, 2015, 7-9 p.m. at the Skirball Cultural Center, 2701 North Sepulveda Blvd., LA. It's best to make a reservation if you're going.
